How is she a spoiler? She's the only major leftist candidate, who is she pulling from?
In America you either one of the 2 main or a spoiler. Y'all really need ranked voting.
Alternative voting systems haven't proven to be even the slightest obstacle to capitalist rule. Japan and Australia have alternative voting systems, and they're still on the same far right path, still evict indigenous peoples, and still act as US military bases.
Its impossible to have a government that represents the people, if capital stands above the political system.
In Poland we currently have 17 political parties and 42 independents on 460 seats in sejm. Yes, that's potentially 59 different political stances... but every single one is still neoliberal.
Supposed to but doesn't really. I'm Australian and our governments at both state and federal levels have been slowly eroding the ability for smaller parties and independents to even join the race by restricting funding and labelling it a win for electoral fairness.
The voting system doesn't matter when fascists get control, they won't let it go not matter what.
